Inventor: HALL JOSEPH
IPC: F01N1/08
Filed: 1910-06-14
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 14,320. Hall, J. June 14. Exhaust-silencers. - The exhaust from an oil or gas motor enters the expansion chamber 1 at S, and is split up by the baffle H<3>; it passes through perforations J in the baffie-plates H' into the expansion chamber 2, and thence through the perforation J<1> in the baffle-plates to the expansion chamber 3. The gases then pass through the central tube F into a nozzle N, Fig. 3, screwed thereon. A number of nozzles N<1>-N<3> are screwed together; each of these nozzles has air inlets L; an end piece N<4> carries a spindle P which breaks up the gases. When the apparatus is mounted on a motorcar, the plates M direct air into the inlets L to cool the exhaust gases. The baffles H<1> are screwed on the central tube, and they, with the tube, are removably held in the casing A by taper pins E bearing on the end plate D. The direction of the gases through the silencer may be reversed.

Abstract: 14,046. Rearick, C. B. June 13. Circular - flow type; balancing moving parts. -The passages which repeatedly return the motive fluid to the turbine buckets are specially formed to obviate choking of the fluid therein. In a balanced arrangement, the working fluid is conducted by nozzles 43 and attached return passages to a central bucket-wheel 26, and is then expanded through nozzles 18, 19 into bucket-wheels 25, 27, and lastly through nozzles 21, 22, 121, 122 into wheels 23, 24, 28, 29. The curved return passages 31, 32, Fig. 2, may be formed integral with the nozzle tube 62 and comprise a gradually expanding series formed by diaphragms 64, 65, 66 and suitable flanges 33, 34. Choking of the fluid discharged from the buckets 36 is obviated by inwardly flaring the return passages at their inlets 38, or by cutting them away at the dotted lines 35. Relief apertures 37 may also be provided in the diaphragms 65, 66. A circumferential packing- flange 74 is secured to the nozzle member, and fluid escaping laterally between the buckets 36 and the nozzle member is redirected against the escaping stream by curved flanges 73 with the object of reducing leakage.

Granted: 1913-06-04
Abstract: 12,973. Aitken, W. June 3. Counters actuated by electric means.-In a telephone sub-station meter, numeral wheels 14 of ordinary construction are mounted inaremovable sealed box 25 having a hole through which passes the actuating-pawl 8. The armature 7 of the magnet 6 has an extension 22 which, on the attraction of the armature, slips under an extension 23 on the switch-hook, thus preventing repeated operation of the meter while the hook is in its raised position. The box 25 has four pins, such as 27, 28, which complete certain circuits when the box is put in position. The circuit controlled by the pin 28 can only be closed properly by the co-operation of an exchange attendant, who energizes the magnet 31. When the calls paid for are nearly exhausted, a pin 58, Fig. 3, on a counting-wheel 14 closes a contact 54, thus connecting a buzzer 57 to the bline through the subscriber's telephone 1. When the predetermined number of calls has been made, the pin 58 opens the speaking circuit at contact 52 and closes the buzzer circuit at contact 56. The buzzer circuit may alternatively include several contacts in series, each contact being controlled by a counting-wheel, so that the buzzer circuit is closed when all the wheels reach their ninth position.
